GRAMMY Award-winning, 24-year-old Christone “Kingfish” Ingram started performing as a teenager on YouTube. Now he is on the road touring big cities in big venues. A huge difference between this and a camera set up in your childhood home!
The internationally recognized guitar prodigy and vocalist creates potent, original songs. Two great examples are "Midnight Heat" and "Mississippi Night." He sings with the deepest soul feeling and plays guitar with searing, organic intensity.
In the four short years since the release of his self-titled debut album, Kingfish, Ingram has taken the music world by storm. From his hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to stages around the globe, the young blues star has already headlined multiple U.S. and European tours. He amazed fans in Australia, New Zealand, and India. Selected in the summer of 2022 to open for MY FAVORITE, The Rolling Stones in London’s Hyde Park.
He is a generational talent, and he's gracing Philadelphia with a legendary performance on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. Tickets are still available, so get 'em now!

TBT: Once A Drummer, Always A Drummer
For my TBT today here is "Once a Drummer, Always a Drummer!"
We are drumming down memory lane! This is the ULTIMATE Throwback Thursday. Music’s true warriors are the drummers— the guys way in the back, behind all that stuff, giving the music its spine and drive. They contribute to the cohesion and contour and a huge chunk of its personality.
Drummers often do not the credit they deserve. I loved being a drummer.
In this article, I'm going to take you through my life as a drummer. I was lucky enough to be part of some awesome groups, and to know some really stellar drummers. Yes, I had a life before I was a rock radio DJ!
As the years have gone by, I've gone from drummer to Mummer, but I've never lost my love of the art. Like I said at the beginning, once a drummer, always a drummer. It will always be a part of me. And now, I want to share that part of me with you all! I've never lost my love and appreciation for drumming, drummers, and all things drums!
Here are the bullet points of my drumming timeline for this TBT. I hope you enjoy it!
I started drumming in Mama and Papa BamBam’s basement

HARD & FAST! That was Scarlet Fever! I wouldn't recommend calling that "Scarlet Fever Hotline" at the bottom of the page anymore, though...

Look at Scarlet Fever on the same upcoming shows list as Heaven's Edge! That's why I'm such good friends with the group.
The Dogtown Balladeers
Dogtown Balladeers had our debut, a five-track EP co-produced by ex-HANOI ROCKS bassist Sam Yaffa and former BRITNY FOX and BLACKEYED SUSAN vocalist Dean Davidson.

My old school friend Carmine Appice (of Rod Stewart, Vanilla Fudge, and Beck) and I. He has been a drummer for many rock heavyweights.
